Wild Wizard[edit]
Wizard Subclass
Most wizards spend many years studying magic. Many study the origin and others to obtain power. There is a specific group in which these users not only use magic, but can transform into animals: these are wild magicians. They use transmutation magic to transform into animals and use this new body as a way to launch their magical attacks. You can choose the origin that led you to study druid magic below or by rolling the dice
| d6 | Origin |
|---|---|
| 1 | You are the son or daughter of the Druid, he taught you about the magic of the forest, but you left your old home in search of magical knowledge. |
| 2 | You found runic writing sealed by magic, and upon deciphering it, you were enchanted by the wild magic that now sits in your veins. |
| 3 | A fierce monster almost killed you, luckily there was a druid or a ranger nearby who saved you. Now you have become the young apprentice of this druid or ranger. |
| 4 | You found a dryad in trouble, you helped her and in return, she granted you the gift of druidry |
| 5 | On one of your walks, you came across a strange temple. This temple, in fact, was a place where the ancient druids gathered and now you have gained their powers. |
